The Apple iPhone 5s was announced on September 10, 2013. Repair of this device is similar to the previous models, and requires screwdrivers and prying tools. Available as GSM or CDMA / 16, 32, or 64 GB / Silver, Gold, and Space Gray.

If you're lucky, a DFU Mode restore may solve your problem but the fact that his first replacement battery stopped charging after 2 months and the new one also does not work is indicative of, at the very least, a bad battery. However, it could also be a damaged charge circuit.

Unless you have the parts or tools or skills, I would not encourage you to buy phones that are already non-functioning from people you don't know.

Shift+Restore just allows you to select a firmware file. It is no different from just clicking restore.

If it is a bad aftermarket quality battery the phone will not allow itself to be restore it would end up failing to restore usually because of that. This is a pretty popular issue on iPhone 4s replacement batteries.

If you can get a hold of an original iPhone 5s battery it will help a lot.
